I don't think direct linking the vid works unless you have a registration, but go to my namesake, without the blogspot. That's www.romancancel.com, for the people who didn't catch that. Anyway it's boss Holy Order Sol, with infinite meter, I bet he regens life also. We've been fighting stupidly overpowered bosses forever, but that one counter super !!FRCed!! into the auto combo super that takes off 65% or so is SILLY. Then again infinite meter is silly, you hear that RCing BOSS INO WHO LIKE TO STALL DURING MISSIONS SO TIME RUNS OUT?

Anyway, I've been worrying about Slash for a while. The balancing by nerfing in particular (No Millia combos after her throw? Bah. And they really nerfed Jam. Also, yes Sol lost his dust loop. But christ he NEEDS his dust loop to get anywhere, otherwise well...Sol doesn't have much!) Most of the changes I have lying around somewhere in a big text file. The latest I remember is Johnny's teleport, which freaks me out. It seems to be an attack tele? As in horizontal slash, tele. Seems like trying to corner Johnny will be useless, I sortta wonder what Venom can do against that.

Right, get the Johnny vs Baiken? match at combovideos to check out the teleport.Registration required yet again, sorry.

The Halo Dies post needs a little more explanation.For the 2 people or so who clicked one of the links, they were treated to 20 minutes of action hero-ness.

In short, an innocent coder was coding a mod for Halo for the computer that would be like Ocarina of Time multiplayer.If anyone remembers Ocarina of time, it introduced the wonders of easyness called "Z-Targetting."Anyway, good friend asks coder for said source code, coder says sure why not.Good friend gives it to bad man, bad man says, oh-ho, programs in lead compensators, releases working CLIENT SIDE AIMBOT that works regardless of SERVER SIDE.

Ok, so I watched Peter's nearly four hour long CMU VR game webcast thing.Freaking amazing.As I understand it, these are two week game projects that had to use drumsets, a headset, or something I didn't quite catch its name, but all virtual reality devices.About half an hour of talking, which was really informative (Disneyland rides, indirect control, etc.), and then the student projects.

The two projects that were truly awesome were 4 way versus multiplayer Nibbler/Snake, which I could totally see being marketed in bars or arcades or something, and Pitt's Burgers, a rather amusing burger flipping simulation.

Sorry Peter, but your wack-a-mole came after Nibbler XD.

But yeah, worth my time =O.Two weeks is insane though, you must not have any other classes but that one.

*It says ue o, but hell he SAYS ue wa.**The "made" is definitely there, even if they cut it off in the lyrics.***Yes, he says chikara. It's not even a slurring, it's just a ridiculous way of saying it. The second repetition is a lot clearer though.

And hot on the heels of the last post is the list of "Holy plothole, even for an movie rpg!"More like ESPECIALLY for a movie rpg.

1. Cloud bleeds once in the beginning when Yazoo shoots off his goggles.NO ONE EVER BLEEDS AGAIN AFTER THAT.2. Kadaj summoning Bahamut from a GREEN materia.3. Red XIII has a freaking JETPACK.4. Bahamut's blast COMPLETELY disappears into magic space after Cloud cuts him.Shoot the thrower, the grenade is still there. The town should be obliterated.5. Rufus is in incredibly fine form after having Diamond Weapon shoot a cannon straight into his office. Also, he can't shoot worth a damn. Oh yeah, Kadaj falls faster because he weighs heavier, DUH!6. Cloud's double sword detach weapon magically gets 4 or 5 more swords in it against Sephiroth.7. Yazoo has time to FIND A NEW GUN after his old one gets chopped in half and he is blown up by explosives.

Honestly though, they really piled on the fan service (not that kind), so I can't help but smile.I mean I enjoyed the game (not to the extent that 95% of gamefaqs did), but they took what coolness I remembered and expanded on it 50 fold.

Since no one reads this, I'm going to assume you've SEEN the damn movie, except maybe Allan, but who knows if he's even played the game =O.

Cool point 1: CLOUD KEEPS ALL HIS SWORDS in a handy place.Cool point 2: The oh so "contrived" (Peter's term) battle, you know the one against the big guy. Couldn't help but smile, even if it the setup was so obviously coming.Cool point 3: Victory fanfare after Tifa wins.Cool point 4: Rufus shooting while falling with that damnable smile on his face the entire time.Cool point 5: Motorcycle battle 2. That guy cheats with haste.

Ok there are a lot more, just watch it for yourself if you haven't =O.
